    AI won’t replace your judgment, but it may be eroding it. As AI becomes embedded in everyday decision-making, leaders are offloading more cognitive work than they realize, introducing a new and largely unexamined risk to performance. Dr. Murray, a neuropsychologist working at the intersection of brain science and executive function, will help attendees understand how AI is reshaping cognition and what leaders must recognize to remain effective. This focus is not about rejecting AI. It’s about recognizing the cognitive tradeoffs and knowing where reliance becomes risk.
